001528987 520__ $$aGerman Protestant Orphans Home ECH Every Child's Hope was founded on January 20, 1858 by Rev. Louis Nollau, as an orphanage for children whose immigrant parents had died from cholera outbreaks. Originally, one orphan boy was taken in by a St. Louis church, but that quickly grew to include approximately 50 children. Then called the German Protestant Orphan's Home, many of the children placed in the orphanage were found roaming the streets and sleeping in doorways. By the mid-1860s, programs were moved to our current location on St. Charles Rock Road and more than 300 orphans called ECH home. Renamed Evangelical Children's Home in 1945, as the needs of St. Louis youth evolved over the decades, services and programs adapted to meet those ever-changing needs. Today Every Child's Hope is no longer an orphanage, but caring for vulnerable children is still at the heart of each program. More than 200 staff members across St. Louis and Kansas City campuses are dedicated to preventing child abuse, treating emotional trauma and mental health issues, and providing aftercare and follow-up services. Each year ECH helps more than 1,400 youth and children find healing and hope for their futures. The back of the original photograph contains this notation: Where our father taught for about 15 years. The obituary of Henry Schlundt (Henry C.), who died October 12, 1932, indicates that taught school in St. Louis. He would be the grandfather of the originator of this collection, thus the note was probably written by his son, Henry J., Robert's father.
